Diamond or Moore's Diamond Grape Juice

The Diamond grape (also known as Moore's Diamond) dates to 1885 when Jacob Moore of Brighton, NY crossed Concord with the Iona grape. Today it thrives in Pennsylvania and New York, though its acreage under vine is far less than its Concord parent. Diamond gained regional prominence in the 1940s as one of the few white American varieties used to product dry table wine. Today we are seeing renewed interest in the Diamond grape for production into gourmet juice and white wines.

Dick and Cindy Peterson opened Swedish Hill Winery in 1986 on the shore of New York's Cayuga Lake. In addition to the more traditional wine products, they have developed this unique gourmet blend of Delaware and Diamond grapes. It is 100% juice, not from concentrate! Our first pouring of this white delight was "love at first sip!"
